made use of was Mr. Baker's big

to be best pivot basket-thrower
in school, from both the field
and the foul line. He has demonstrated his ability as a field general in leading the pennant-
winning Grays, and deserves to
be the" ranking officer of the All-
School team. Morrison, although an excellent center, would
make a*i ideal forward and helpmate of whirlwind Judd. Findley is placed at guard because of
his size and general floor-playing
ability. Our general utility men
are both fighters and capable of
stepping into the game, and keeping their opponent's hands full
for an indefinte time. It is expected that Capt. Rau would use
them for at least a half of each
game. The following are the
lineups of the various captains,

Fencing Club Under Leadership of
Mr. Allen Makes Plans
For the Season
The third meeting of the fencing
class was held last night, in the
boys'cloak room. Although, there
were not as many out as usual,
the few who were had a lively
time of it. Many have signified
their intention of learning the
gentle art of jabbing, but have
been kept out .because of basketball. But now that it is out of the
way, they will undoubtedly come
out.
Last year Mr. Wade had charge
of the class and at the close gave
a tournament in which Holman
Scott and Louis Gregoire came
out on top and fought it out in
one of our Wednesday auditorium
programs. This year there are
only two of last years' men left
over, so everybody who starts in
will be on an equal footing.
At first there will be some
routine work, but the foils will be
given out for next time. Mr. Allen
who is instructor this year, will
coach any newcomers. When
asked about this unofficially, Mr.
Scherer said: "Mr.Allen is all right,
he knows how to fence," and, if
our warrior gives his sanction,
what more do you want?
Mr. Allen intends to follow out
last year's and the year previous
last year's program. Namely, to

the
Every day for the past few
weeks different members of the
senior class have been appearing
at school with their '"proofs".
Some of the proofs do not do
justice to their owners, some do,
and some even flatter them.
Several of the people have been
so disheartened with theirs that
they have had their pictures
taken twice, so as to have them
satisfy them perfectly before they
go into the Annual. As is perhaps known, these pictures are
going to be the making of the
Annual this year, so that no one
wants his to be the one to spoil
the book. There are a few people who are still lagging back and
waiting until the last minute before they go down to Bretzman's.
This is a bad policy. Everyone
has been warned, and Zone of
these days the senior session
room teachers will •■announce,
"Yesterday was the last da y for
the seniors to have their pictures
taken. We are sorry if anyone is
so unfortunate as to have forgotten to go down." However, from
the class spirit shown, the teachers may be pleasantly surprised
upon making such an announcement to find that the class of 1910

Again
The Western Swarthmore Club
has placed within reach of some
present Shortridge senior the
golden opportunity of spending
one year in a great eastern university, Swarihmore College. The
scholarship of $350 covers all expenses of tuition and board forone
academic year. Swarthmore is
located in the beautiful, historic
Delaware Valley; out eleven
miles from the delightful old city
Philadelphia, and is renowned
for its buildings and instructors,
The school ranks high in eastern
athletics and is the home of several of Pennsylvania's champion
debating teams. Two conspicuous literary journals are published, thus offering some Shortridge journalist an opportunity of
continuing to wield his pen in a
new and wider field.
In 1908-09, Shortridge honored
herself by sending to Swarthmore an excellent scholar in
Alice Elizabeth Masten. That she
has made an wonderful scholastic record, was shown recently,
when the Western Swarthmore
Club wrote to Mr. Benton, expressing a desire that Shortridge
might send some pupil to them
with equal ability. Anyone desiring to give the matter serious consideration should call upon Mr.
Benton at once. In selecting the
successful candidate for the Fifth
Annual Competitive Scholarship,
account will be taken of excellence and force of character,
capacity as evinced by success in
studies and other activities, good
physique and excellence in exercise and spert.
